Did you know that bee pollen and asthma are not necessarily mutually exclusive topics? In fact, they may be more closely related than most people realize for there is actually a way to treat asthma through the use of bee pollen. That's right, not only can you take bee pollen for hay fever, but asthma symptoms can be treated by taking regular doses of this natural product as well.
A Little About Asthma
If you suffer from asthma you will know how miserable you can be, especially when your asthma symptoms are triggered. But what is it that triggers asthma symptoms? In most asthma cases the symptoms are triggered by an allergen or a combination of allergens that lead to the lungs closing up and the inability to expel the breath that is already within the lungs.
It is specifically due to the concept of allergen-triggered asthma that the concept of using bee pollen, also known as bee bread, to counter the symptoms of asthma is such a revolutionary one.
How Bee Pollen can Help
It may sound silly to suggest that a person take bee bread to counter the effects of allergies, but it has been proven that by taking pollen on a regular basis you can reduce if not altogether eliminate your reaction to certain allergens.
It's quite simple really. In order to get the full benefit of bee pollen as it regards asthma and allergies, you simply have to adapt yourself to using it much as you would if you take allergy shots as a form of immunotherapy to help build your tolerance to those things you are allergic to.
Being that bee bread granules contain the collected pollen of a great number of plants, by taking it on a regular basis you build up immunity to the pollens and can therefore reduce your allergy symptoms and can significantly decrease your bouts of allergy-induced asthma.
How to Treat Allergies with Bee Pollen
If you begin taking bee bread regularly at least 2-3 months before your main allergy season you will see a significant decrease in your allergy (and hence your asthma) symptoms. But don't just start in taking a full dose of it every day!
In order to get the maximum effects of this product in your diet you will need to be taking bee bread regularly for at least 2-3 months in order to see results, but in order to ensure that you will not have any unanticipated allergic reactions to the Bee bread if you've never taken this product before you are going to want to start at least a month earlier.
The key, of course, is to start small, just one granule the first day. If you tuck it under your tongue and it dissolves and you have no reaction, then the next day you can add another granule, building up until you are ingesting approximately 1 Tbs. full of granules.
The reason you are going to want to start slowly is because there is always the chance that you will be allergic or simply just sensitive to bee pollen. Not everyone is, but if you already suffer from allergies and/or asthma you may be sensitive to it, so it is always a good idea to check.
Once you have determined that you are not allergic or sensitive to bee pollen you can add it as a regular part of your diet and you can start reaping the rewards of less allergy and asthma symptoms.
